Being a Microsoft Visual Basic programmer, I am used to designing user interfaces which follow the latest usuabilty research coming out of Redmond, WA. So my suggestion of changing 'Who's Online', which is very impersonal and unfriendly, to 'My Online Buddies' which is combines the consumer friendliness of AOL and Microsoft Windows XP and is truer reflection of the spirit of amiable discourse that prevails on this site.

So anyone suggesting that Editors are a bunch of fascist control freaks will get short shrift from me. Good work, fellas...

Like the difference between GRIND-CORE and DEATH METAL. My good friend that passed away on SEPT. 11th in New York was a huge ANTHRAX fan. He had no interest in GRIND-CORE or DEATH METAL. We miss him dearly and know the following for a fact:

He would not want ANTHRAX to change their name.

Word

Lots of smart people at this website. You are so clever. Each and everyone of you. Smile. News for grown-ups...please.

This site has an excessively common look and feel in many ways. It doesn't discriminate between the various browsers, for example, giving those using one of the slapdash "home-brew" web browsers all sorts of disruptive ideas.

And there is nothing special for users of the Internet proper (A.O.L.), meaning that the site is wantonly allowing literally anybody come walking in and kick over the furniture.

Never fear. In no time I expect Adequcay will have its primary content set up in an A.O.L.-only fashion, and leave the 1337 with a sort of "service entrance" version of the site.

Yes, some will complain loudly, and we should be prepared to take their names and pass them on to the F.B.I.

Or would you have us give in to the hackers and other terrorists? Perhaps Adequacy can serve as a lightning rod to smoke them out of their rat-holes before they attack our nuclear plants and water supply with their cowardly and vile hack attacks. Perhaps we should make arrangements ahead of time with the F.B.I. so as to be ready for them.

Tkatchev is a known terrorist, not one of us. Our long-established policy of monitoring and reporting all his activities is where I got the idea in the first place. Look at the kind of company he keeps: "script kiddies in Romania"!
